job search update

i've mentioned that I plan to change jobs.it's a real challenge finding executive (or even managerial level positions) in rural North Carolina.

My first step was to look for regional executive recruiters. Oddly, I found almost none after two days searching the Internet. Actually about 6-12 depending on how loosely you define executive recruiter. I've called half of them so far and many are specialists not focussing on the area - quite discouraging. Instead, I'm going to have to look for nationally focussed recruiters - this might lead to what I was hoping to avoid - commuting by plane again!

On the job board side, I've registered and tried monster.com and careerbuilder.com. Careerbuilder certainly seems better. However, I was shocked by the poor usability of monster. It's really not that good.

It looks like my greatest effort may go into social and business networking.
